Hard to imagine, that with God being timeless, a religion could be considered archaic.

[antiRepublicrat]

more emphasis is given to attributing souls to every object and to believing in magic or sorcery.

That's an interesting statement. Most people these days who practice these "primitive religions" don't believe in magic from the person, but that what you do enlists the help of the supernatural powers to perform some task for you -- magic. Doing your magic ritual didn't make it rain, but convinced the powers to make it rain for you. This is equivalent to a Christian praying for a miracle from God.

Same with seeking guidance. Deuteronomy basically replaced the methods of divination, in which the supernatural powers arranged the bones, etc., with revelations from the Christian God.

It's all the same concepts, just collated into the personified single deity.

Take a deep look at the definition of primitive and then look up on Wikipedia how Primitive Methodists was sparked by The Spirit of The Living God that goes out from the Father . God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow and putting The Spirit of The living God in a box is a dangerous and futile thing to “attempt” . . .
